GENLRAL ORDERS. " The army will learn with regret that the General of Division, Sernamout, Commander in Chief of the Artillery, has finished his career hefore Cadiz. This worst)) , and respeaable General, whose name was connected , A ith the most fnemorable exploits of the war; was employed in visiting the formidable works con,trueted by the tst corps of the army, when a shell, thrown from one of the enemy's ves sels, struck him in.the breast. The same shot also killed Colonel Degennes, Dire&or of the Parks of Artillery, and Captain Pinondelle, both very distin guished Officers. " His Majesty the Emperor will certainly feel tor the loss of General Set naniotit. There was not in his Majesty's service an officer who was more zealous in the discharge of his duty. Every thought of his was direscd to the service, the glory of the Imperial armies, and the improvement in tabics of the illusirious corps of which he was one of the most distinguished Commanders. *LI The honoiirs due to the rank of General Ser namont will be paid to him by the Ist corps of the army, and also to Colonel Degennes, aud .

Throughout the whole course of the negocia lion, the English Cabinet had perpetual resource to subterfuges; the result of which was, that they would not admit the exchange, tnan for marl, and rank for rank, and consider the French, English, Germans, Portuguese, Spaniards, upon a footieg of equality, and composing two belligerent masses. Mr. Mackenzie, after having twice applied f. r passports with an interval of a month between each application, has at length left Morlaix. " besides, he was seta over by the English Go vernment rather in the character, of a sp . !, than a negociator. It is impossible for a person to conduct himself worse than tie did. He abused the . liberty which he had of making excur , ions in the coun try to the distance of eight or ten leagues : he had his cot respondents ; lie pretended to be above the petite: of the province, and gave way to all the itn pertmences of a young man without experience or moderai tot'. " Mr. Mackenzie was employed in the Cattaro nosiness, at the t lose of the war of 1803. He was afterwards one of the agents in the horrible affair of Copenhagen. He is, la sh irt, a man of the same kidney with the Drakes, the Wickhams, and the Jacksons. When the English really A ish to nego date, they hhow what kiwi °linen they should em ploy.

" England abounds as mach as any country in the world in men, respeaah:e on account of their information, and the excellence of their charaaers. It also abounds in hideous characters, in political Figuros, in brokers of intrigue, spies and incen- . diaries. When it wishes to negociate sincerely with France, it will be manifested in the choice of the negociator. Whatever kind of treaty England may be desirous of entering into with France, .sheuld be founded on justice, good sense, and candour. It is possible to deceive saute ignorant Nabobs in the • East Indies, but an enlightened Government is not to be imposed upon."

Colonel D. Juan Martin, on the 14th inst. had an encounter with the enemy in the vicinity of Cifu cotes, of which an account is given in the following letter to the Superior Junta of Gnadalaxara : " MOST EXCELLENT SENOR, • " I received inforthation on the 14th, that the enemy, considerably reinforced, had put themselves in motion from Brihuega, in a dire&ion towards the town of Cufuentes, where I was with the greater part of the troops under my command. I imme diately sent forward some advanced parties, and or dered three c.nspanies • of cabalry, under the com mand of D. Ticeote Sardina, D. Saturnino Albuir, and D. Jose Monddeu, to take post on the fiat grounds of the Soledad ; a battalion of musketeers, under the court - nand of D. N►colas de Isidro, on the pel,lits of the Castle; and another, of volunteers, on the ridge of S. Cristobal. All the troops waited fur the enemy with calmness, and were anxious to come to-Vows. " Abo•it two in the afternoon our advanced par ties came in sight of those of the enemy, and at tacking them with intrepidity, drove them back, and forced them to retire. The French Comman der, on seeing his piquets driven in, reinforced them with cavalry and infantry, supporting them also with one piece of cannon; in consequence of which, I also reinforced my parties, who fought the enemy with git>at ardour, and retarded his match for more than an hour. At last, however, our troops ticere compelled, to retire, for the enemy bringing up all his force, advanced with rapidity against Cttuentes, varying his operations according to the positions oh our troops. As the position of our cavalry was not advantageous, I ordered it to pass on by the town, and take post in the rear ; so as, by covering our flanks, to support any point where it might be ne cessaryd It was about four in the .afternoon, when the battalion of musketeers opened a very brisk tire on the Vrena infantry ; and though they succeed ed in- driving them Welt more than once, )et they at last retired, in order to prevent their being sur i'Oundd, aq joined the battalion o . :olen!cers ; f o r the enemy s cftalry hating advance , %elide th- tire of their cannon was not suvended or an Meant, 110 tueceeded in eu l terieg . the town o ,he side of the gatdens. The French cavalry cont ued advancing en the hide ofCaneedondo,tl while infantry, sup ported by the cednnon,- advanced oe the oppoiite side, doubtless with a view tp cut us ot.re But our cavalry, who observed this motion, advanced to meet that of the enemy, and attacked tt whh so much ardour, 014, notwithstanding the roughness of the ground, they were not only forced to iibaeden their design, but precipitately tly, till they gut un der the protetc,tion of their infantry. " The intrepidity of our troops on this occasion was such, that in spite of the brisk fire which was opened upon them, they advanced even up to the bayonets of the enemy. On the appro.ich of night the enemy retreated to Cifnen es ; whilst I did the same. with my troops to Canredoodo in order to give them some rest and refreshnient, leaving 200 infantry and iou horse upon the heights, in sight of the former town. " My intetition was to have attacked them next morning; but though I put my troops in motion tor that purpose ; I could not accomplish it, the enemy having fled at day-bleak, after having plundered and set fire so the town in ditTeient quarters, wreaking upon she houses that resentment which the troops of the tyrant must fed upon seeing themselves hum bled by a few bands of brigands, as they call them; but bands, which, though they treat contemptu ously in their bulletins, they regard with respect and fear in the moment of attack. " On the morning of the 15th I entered Cifuen tes, and was struck with horror at the sight of a contligtation so extended and de curing, which in a short time would have reduced the whole tow', to ashes ; so►ne of my soldiers found e , ery where the remains of the combustiule materials eniplo)'red to set it on fire. The troops with u'lleh we fiught on this oc casion amounted to between .900 and 1000 infantry, and about 400 horse, commanded by a General and two Colonels. " Our loss is trifling, while that of tho enemy must be very considerable, as we learn from trust worthy persons, that they -Inve lost more ihan 1.5 n killed and severely worinded, besides le horses, without reckoning the ~., r itioners and deserters. On fair side, I cannot notice individuals, since all have distinguished thomselves. " Alay God preserve,. &c. " JUAN MART4N EL'gMZECINADO;!' " Cogolludo, Sept. 19, ISro." MADRID, OCT. s.—Joseph Buopaparte returned to this city on ty r e :20th ult. after ap• absence of three clays. He was in Uuadalaxara ; made tl,e In tendant Salas, Preteet ; ordered the re-establishtnent of Ole woollen-manufaelure (destroyed by his satel lites) ; changed the magistracy ; and returned to Madrid. Neither the cause of his journey, nor that of his return, is, known. In Guaialaxara he signed several decrees,. as he is accustomed to. do on his journies, either in order to make a show of labo riousness and application to business, or to make it be belieVed by their publication in his Gazettes, that he travels freely, and at his ease, among those wliom he calls his people: But it is not improbable, but he considered his re sidence at Guadalaxara as rather insecure; and. this is confirmed by what happened to him a kw days after at Alameda, a country-house about a - league and a halt from Madrid, on the road to the former city. He was there regaling with Belhiard, and se veral women ; when, during dinner, information un expected arrived, that a party of patriots were ap proaching, and without taking time to finish their re past, they all precipitately set off for Madrid. • . Herbas has returned from Paris. .They say, that" he brings powers and authorities over the other His pano-Gallic Ministers, a cirenthstance which natural ly annoys them exceedingly. CADIZ, OCT. 12.-Many detachments of the ene my have !`nett lately destroyed by the intrepid pa triots between Lucena and Cordova. A similar Inc has attended others in the road to San Lucar and to Port St. Mary's. Neither is the vicinity of Ronda more favourable to them, for in the skirmishes of last month, as well as in those which took place in the beginning of this, the loss of the enemy is com puted at about 1100 men, including killed, wound ed, and deserters. Twenty-two of the latter entered Algesiras on the sth. ALCANTARA, NOV. 3.—A corps of Goo French men has been cut to pieces at. Valdemono, by Fran cesquete, the physician. In consequence of this, a body of 1000 French, with three pieces of artillery, have sallied forth from Toledo, but they will arrive too late. Thirty Frenchmen, which s.k.cre at a coun try house within a league of - Maitzaneris, have been beheaded by a party of patriots. The enemy has formed a lunation at Serb, and raised a levy, com plising all men from 16 to 40. ESTRAMALWR A, Nov. .7.—We have just received the following intelligence Iron' Sala:mutt:a, dated the 25 t h of October : Caraseia, ,the Governor of this - place, has de manded reinforcements for the garrison, which at present is very weak. To.day v - e expect the'arrival of three regiments. The troops which are here are to march immediately to Ciudad Rodrigo. The number of the sick in the hospitals increase• daily, and the deaths among them are from 50 to do a day. The ccnvaiescents are sent to Valladolid, to be trom thence conveyed into France. There are at present in Alba 250 men, horse and foot in Piedrahna 250, in lld cfuelas 280, in San PAR) Rosdo 80, in San Murioz 1000 ; the garrison Oi Ciudad Rodrigo consists of 800 men. Some troois front Lisma are passing to that point. According to the news cir culated here, the army of Massena suffers the great est distresses. Even the Frenchmen themselves prophecy a melancholy end lo these troops. • MAILS. AnretvEl2-1 Lisbon, 3 Dublin. Dus -4 I,Vaterford. PRICE UP STOCKS TIM DAY AT Twar.va O'CLOCK.
